You can add NAFUS as my ancestors spelling version of Nevius to the list:
note: In German the "e" sounds like "a" and the "v" has the sound of "f". So Nevius sounds like Nafus. An example of the "v" having an "f" sound is found in the word Volkswagon and is pronounced 'folksvagon' in Germany with the "w" having the sound of "v". VW is pronounced fa vay.
